Love Improves You

Author Marianne Williamson says that there are only two forces in the universe: Love and fear. Having that in mind have a look at this jewel again. When we operate in fear it doesn’t feel good. When we’re around a person who’s operating from a place of fear it doesn’t feel good. Yet for some strange reason we still hang around.

Now I’m not condoning just getting up and running at the first sign of trouble. It is too easiness just to walk away from relationships; whether they are business friendship or intimate relationships. I’m not talking about moments of turmoil. I’m not talking about the spat that you had with your husband because he forgot to put the cap on the toothpaste.

What I’m talking about here staying in situations that are unhealthy over long periods of time. You can still love a person and be at a distance. You can still help that same person and not be in close proximity all the time.

If that person or situation is working from the stance of fear it will only drain you. So get out of there. If it’s not making you better it isn’t love!

So why don’t we stay? Is it because of love? Or is it because of fear? Often times fear where’s icing sugar that looks like love. But underneath it still is a stale old cake that is rotting and needs to go. Fear is that rushing cake. I know in retrospect in my own life, whether it was private or business I often over stayed because I was afraid of leaving. I was afraid I wouldn’t find another job. I was afraid I wouldn’t find another friend. I was afraid!

I said before that I often learned my lessons because the Universe has to hit me with a 2 x 4. I think I’m learning. I hope I’m learning. Because what I have learned is that one I operate from the place of love I have no need to fear. I have learned Love makes you more of what you are, not less. Thank you Marianne. Thank you lessons in life.

Love Improves You

Lift Others

Robert Green “Bob” Ingersoll was a Civil War veteran, American political leader, and orator during the Golden Age of free thought, noted for his broad range of culture and his defence of agnosticism. He was nicknamed “The Great Agnostic.”

Isn’t it wonderful that the universe has such a great sense of humour! The author of this jewel didn’t believe in any higher power, yet he wrote and we quote such a powerful Universal principle. Just another example of the Universe working in spite of us.

Have you ever been scheduled to go out and do something like visit someone? Perhaps that someone isn’t always easy to be around. Perhaps they’re sad. Perhaps they’re depressed. Perhaps they’re sick. You just don’t feel like it today. But you do it anyway. You go and you do the visit. You spend time with that person. Oddly, when you get home you feel great. Why is that? It is because we are lifting others.

Remember, the Universe can and will work in spite of us. But why work that way? Why not let the Universe work because of us?

Lift Others

Life's Unfolding

 

Is there something in your life that you really want? Is there a goal that you’re trying to reach? Is there a place you want to travel to? Are you looking for a relationship? Sometimes we see the Universe, or God, as some sort of Supernatural Santa Claus. But that’s just not true. It would be nice if it was.

 

At the same time, Universal law teaches us the same lesson that Jesus taught. He already knew, understood and lived this law. You have not because you ask not. And, ask and it will be given onto you. Seek and you will find. Knock and the door will be opened.

 

I have come to learn that the Universe does not equal Santa Claus. Yet at the same time, I have learned that the Universe is extremely generous and is just waiting for us to ask, seek, knock.

 

There is a balance here though. The balance between fantasy and reality. Many get turned off of spirituality because they see it as fantasy. Why is that? It is because we humans, flawed as we are, continue to create God instead of letting God create us, for us, in us.

 

When we choose to live in Spirit our desires can only reflect what Spirit desires for us. So when someone who lives close to spirit asks, seeks, Knocks, he or she will only ask for their highest good. It is then that we see the constant unfolding of new desires and then constant alignment to those desires both from the Universe and ourselves.
